Yu Qian saved the Ming Dynasty, but why was he finally killed for treason?

In the eighth year of Jingtai in Ming Dynasty (1457), Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen and others took the opportunity of Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's serious illness to welcome Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was imprisoned in Nangong, to be restored, which was called "the change of seizing the door" in history.

After Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne again, he rewarded the members of the "Home Returning Corps" who helped him recover. Gratitude, revenge, gratitude is over, and then it is time for revenge, and Yu Qian, then the minister of the Ministry of War, bears the brunt.

Yu Qian has been an official for more than 30 years. He is diligent, fair and honest, upright and upright, won the hearts of the people and "turned the tide." In the first year of Jingtai (1450), he led the army to successfully save Beijing, which was an unparalleled feat.

However, why was such a hero who had both ability and political integrity and made great achievements tried by the new emperor?

Yu Qian was a new scholar in the 19th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (142 1), and his career was smooth and smooth. But in ten years, he was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, which shows his outstanding talent.

Yu Qian made his first official appearance in the first year of Xuande (1426). At that time, Hanwang Zhu rebelled, and Yu Qian personally signed with Ming Xuanzong. After Zhu defected, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent Yu Qian to criticize Zhu's crimes. Although it's only a seven-product suggestion, Yu Qian's words hit the floor are forceful. Under the fierce offensive of suggestion Zhu, he was scolded and kept shaking on the ground, claiming that he deserved to die.

After this incident, Ming Xuanzong naturally saw that Yu Qian was a talented person and began to cultivate this little suggestion, so he often sent him to places. And Yu Qian did not live up to high expectations. Everywhere he went to rehabilitate unjust imprisonment, he benefited one side and won the support of the people.

After Ming Yingzong and Zhu Qizhen acceded to the throne, Wang Zhen, the eunuch, was blessed with the power of the emperor, and the officials of the Manchu civil and military were silent and did not dare to make any noise. Even, whenever officials return to Beijing to report their work, they will send Wang Zhen a meeting gift. However, every time Yu Qian returned to Beijing, he remained uncorrupted and never gave gifts to please the red man in front of the son of heaven.

This is modesty, not modesty.

For Yu Qian who has lost face, Wang Zhen is naturally furious, and he will suffer for Yu Qian. So he ordered his confidant to frame Yu Qian and put him in prison, ready to make an example of him. However, Yu Qian is outstanding in talent and noble in morality. Not only did a large number of officials and people plead for him, but even some royal princes wrote letters to defend Yu Qian, which led Wang Zhen to give up.

From then on, Yu Qian, as always, never hugged this father-in-law's thigh again. He also wrote a poem "Entering Beijing" to express his ambition: handkerchief mushrooms, thread incense will harm the people. The wind blows the sleeves to the sky, so as not to talk short.

In July of the 14th year of Orthodox Church (1449), Wang Zhenxian launched a massive attack and held Ming Yingzong hostage in order to make contributions. Wang Zhen is just a petty official who knows nothing about military affairs. The result is self-evident.

After World War I, 500,000 Ming troops were wiped out, and the elite of the Ming Dynasty was lost. Ming Yingzong himself, like Hui Di and Qin Shihuang in the Northern Song Dynasty, became a foreign prisoner, which is called "the change of civil fort" in history.

First, he led the Mongolian army to hold Ming Yingzong hostage and knocked at the gates of Beijing all the way south. At this time of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor became an alien prisoner, and his heart was floating. It can be said that the coming events cast their shadows before them. Many courtiers were afraid of death, so they suggested going south to avoid disaster. The representative figure who advocated moving south was Xu Kun (Xu Youzhen).

At this critical moment, Yu Qian stepped forward and sternly reprimanded those who suggested moving south in the DPRK, saying, "Those who suggested moving south, cut them off! Shi Jing is the foundation of the world. As long as you move, great things will disappear. Didn't you see the story of the southern crossing of the Song Dynasty? "

Yu Qian advocated the Anti-Japanese War and was supported by patriotic officials such as Prime Minister Wang Zhi and Cabinet Bachelor Chen Xun. The king who stayed in Beijing to supervise the country listened and agreed.

At that time, the most effective troops and elite cavalry in the capital had collapsed in the civil fort, leaving less than 100 thousand tired foot soldiers, and people were worried, and the court did not have firm confidence. Yu Qian asked Wang Li to transfer the Beijing-Henan Reserve Team, the Luning Reserve Team, the grain transport troops of Jiangbei and Beijing to Shuntianfu, and then managed, planned and deployed them in turn, which made people feel a little more stable. Subsequently, Yu Qian was promoted to the post of Minister of War, and was solely responsible for planning the defense of the capital.

Yu Qian, a scholar, never went to the battlefield, but with the belief of winning, went to the first battlefield in his life. Despite the disparity in strength between the two sides, under the correct command of Yu Qian, the Yexian invading army did not take any advantage, and was beaten back by the soldiers and civilians guarding Beijing.

As the defending head coach of Beijing, Yu Qian's contribution is self-evident.

1449 During the Ming Dynasty, the sky over ancient Beijing was overcast, and the emperor became a bargaining chip for the Mongols. "Dark clouds are crushing the city" and the building collapses. Without Yu Qian, we really can't imagine what the National Games of the Ming Dynasty would be like. Once it really moves south, what will await the Ming Empire?

If the situation is good, it will only be as peaceful as the Southern Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Since then, the history of the Ming Empire has been divided into two sections, one called "Northern Ming" and the other called "Southern Ming", which is exactly the same as the fate of the Song Dynasty.

Even if it is broken, the disaster of national subjugation in the Ming Dynasty will only happen overnight. By then, the Mongols will reoccupy China and rule the world.

From this perspective, Yu Qian is not only the savior of the Ming empire, but also the hero of our entire Chinese nation.

However, this great hero who saved the fate of Daming Jiangshan and the people all over the world was treated unfairly by the two emperors. One doubted him in every way, and the other killed him unjustly in the end.

People who are suspicious of money in every way are also called Jingtai emperor who took the hand of money and ascended the throne.

After the war in Beijing, Yu Qian's popularity reached its peak, and he seemed to be the backbone of the whole dynasty. In view of the fact that the country can't live without a monarch for a day, and the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen is still in the hands of the Mongols, and the prince Zhu Jianshen is still young, Yu Qian advocated that Zhu Qiyu, the king of the prison, be emperor, and renamed Jingtai in the same year.

Since ancient times, Gao Zhen has been a master. Although Yu Qian's moral integrity is obvious to all, he still can't avoid the emperor's suspicion. Although he seems to have done everything for money, his heart is never at ease with money.

What's even more ridiculous is that Zhu Qiyu heard the bell of Chaohe River in the palace when the door-robbing incident happened, and even asked the people around him if there was such a big noise outside.

If there were gods in the sky, would Zhu Qiyu be ashamed to see Yu Qian who died before him in the grave?

Zhu Qiyu also doubted modesty.

If Zhu Qiyu's distrust of modesty is only the emperor's inherent suspicion, then Zhu Qizhen's killing Yu Qian is a naked bite the hand that feeds him.

At the beginning, after Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he regarded his younger brother Zhu Qizhen as the emperor's father. Fearing that Zhu Qizhen's return would threaten his position, Zhu Qiyu ignored his brother. People armed forces which is not a child prodigy, naturally guessed the new emperor's mind, and at that time they all drew a clear line, the old emperor and the current emperor's father, for fear of offending the new emperor.

However, for the sake of the country's face, Yu Qian risked offending the new emperor, tried his best to mediate, and after several negotiations, he finally sent someone to take back the Sun-exposed Emperor Tai Shang in Saibei and fled the Mongolian people.

It's ironic that after Emperor Tai-huang ascended the throne again, he threw Yu Qian, the hero and benefactor of empire reconstruction, into prison!

Yu Qian has been an official for decades and has never had a bad record. Especially after the defending war in Beijing, his reputation has spread far and wide and is deeply loved by people all over the world.

In order to kill this great hero, Zhu Qizhen and his classmates took great pains. First, they framed Yu Qian for meeting foreign governors. After finding no evidence, the villains simply accused Yu Qian of being "interesting". The implication is that although Yu Qian greeted the foreign vassal, there is no evidence, but he has this idea in his heart.

Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng's meanness and malice are exposed, and their shameless degree is only comparable to what Qin Gui, a traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty, said when framing Yue Fei.

Zhu Qizhen is not only stupid, but also a baiwenhang who bites the hand that feeds him.

When Yue Fei was framed by treacherous court officials, veteran Han Shizhong stood up and asked, "Why should there be three words to conquer the world?" Unfortunately, when Yu Qian was wrongly imprisoned, the imperial court was in a foul mood by the new emperor and his classmates, and no one dared to make a deafening sound-how can the word "three meanings" prevail in the world?

On the 23rd day of the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai, Yu Qian was taken to Chongwenmen, just in front of the city he was defending to the death, and got his final ending-beheading. History: the world is wronged!

After Yu Qian was killed, according to the rules, he should have taken the property, but when the property official went to Yu Qian's house, he found it was a very easy job to finish, because Yu Qian had nothing at home, except the necessities of life and no extra money.

Alas, Gong, a generation of famous ministers, died at the hands of a bad king and a thief!

Property officials are not satisfied. They searched Yu Qian's home and vowed to find evidence of corruption. Finally, they saw a locked box and couldn't wait to open it.

However, they were disappointed again because there was nothing in the box except a sword and an embroidered robe. These two things were given to Yu Qian by Emperor Jingtai in recognition of his achievements in defending the capital. After receiving the reward, Yu Qian kept it respectfully and never showed it off.

People who come to the property market are ashamed to quit their old mansion, because they know that Yu Qian, the object of their property market, is a big shot!

Even if he was disappointed with the emperor, Yu Qian never regretted that he used a game-writing protocol to dye the execution ground red.

In this life, he is worthy of the sky, not condescending, selfless and honest. He devoted his life to the country and people. He is a hero rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty and a well-deserved hero of our whole nation.

"I am not afraid of being smashed into pieces, but I want to leave my innocence in the world." After a thousand years, the predecessors of merit and merit commented that Yu Qian's innocence still remains in the world and is immortal!
